So, there are usually subsystem specific trees. You can usually find them in the MAINTAINERS file. E.g. for the IIO subsystem it is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git The subsystem trees can be up to 3 months (one release) ahead of Linus' tree. If in doubt place your changes ontop of the next tree, which should have all the changes from the subsystem trees. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
